Workshop

European experiences of ‘good’ language, ‘bad language’

6 July 2017 — 7 July 2017

University of Nottingham

European experiences of 'good' language, 'bad language', and (the) standard language ideology in multilingual communities, past and present

This workshop will take place July 6-7, 2017, at the University of Nottingham with the aim of bringing together people who are interested in both standard language ideology and multilingualism and the relationship between them, whether from a synchronic or diachronic viewpoint. Attendence is by registration only. Please register here.

There are a limited number of slots available for additional contributions to the programme of this workshop, and we welcome expressions of interest, particularly from PhD students and early career researchers. Please submit a 250-300 word abstract and a two-sentence biography to Nicola.McLelland@nottingham.ac.uk by April 30th, 2017.
